The privilege of loneliness, which she had endured for many years of torture and hard to earn, would never be exchanged for an old age disturbed by false and charming pity. - One Hundred Years of SolitudeI'm a boy, but I don't know any kind of ball games, I don't like to watch sports, and I don't like esports or mobile games.
A few years ago, I was deeply anxious about this because I couldn't enrich the conversation with boys my age and interject when someone was happy to talk about itWhen others invited me to join the game group, I could only pass by in a vague way.
In short, I don't have ordinary hobbies, and I'm isolated from a group of friends.
I was anxious, after all, it is human instinct to be afraid of being abandoned by the group. I don't want loneliness to surround me all the time, so I value my friends more than anyone else, and I am careful to show my kindness to my friends whenever I am in front of them, so as not to arouse their disgust.
But now I feel like I'm wrong, and being lonely isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Many people, with a friend list of 500+, have constant gatherings, shopping, and chatting from morning to night every day, and the number of exercise steps displayed in the mobile phone software is always 20,000+.
But we also can't get rid of loneliness.
After returning home, we turned on the screen of our mobile phones in the dark, flipped through the circle of friends, reviewed the wonderful life of the day, and turned off our mobile phones after gags with a group of friends in the interlacing of text and voice.
The joy has not yet dissipated, and we will feel a wave of loneliness in our hearts.
We find ourselves in solitude, and with laughter and excitement of the day, the night comes.
It seems that in the end, I am still the only one left.
Some people have a wide range of interests and hobbies and have grand ideals. He can be immersed in what he wants to do, immersed in the knowledge he has acquired, and they feel that they are no longer alone.
This is the case with Colonel Aureliano in One Hundred Years of Solitude.
He has a withdrawn personality and likes to delve into deep thoughts.
When he was young, in order to oppose the Conservative Party's control, he left home with his ambition and burning anger to revolt in various parts of the country, and became a hegemon"Warlords"。
But when he was hot and powerful, he found that the joy of realizing his ambition was gone, because his status transformed him into another person.
Power isolates him from his family and friends, and keeps a distance of more than three meters from him whenever and wherever he is, no matter who he is.
Power eroded his sanity, and he became cold-blooded and ruthless, even shooting his subordinates at will.
This "mutation" made him panic. So he signed a contract with the Conservative Party despite the opposition of the officers, and closed himself in his home, wanting to be forgotten by everyone.
However, the real world continues to plague him, and the incompetence of the Conservative Party, the change of local regimes, the constant wars, and the assassination of the seventeen sons have dealt him constant blows.
The peace and tranquility he wanted, Heaven never gave him.
The ideal is not just a fighting spirit that burns violently like a flame for a while, but also a disappointment that slowly cools down with enthusiasm.
We also feel lonely when we find that the process of achieving our dreams is a hopeless repetitive effort, the reality is so cruel, and we are so powerless.
Loneliness is inevitable. The excitement will always pass, and the loneliness will always come, as normal as the alternation of day and night.
We want to enjoy solitude.
Loneliness, in essence, is how you get along with your own heart.
Whether it is outside or inside, those tedious things will disappear in solitude, and you can find peace and tranquility in solitude.
Just as we are busy during the day and rest at night, we deal with our social relationships in the bustle and learn to be quiet with ourselves in the solitude.
In the past, when I was lonely, I liked to go out for a walk, look up at the boundless night, and let my thoughts wander into the vast world.
Don't get rid of loneliness, but take advantage of it.
In this time and space where there is only you, you can slowly think about what is happening when the excitement is lively, or just look at the stars and enjoy the quiet enjoyment and let the mind sleep peacefully.
You want to get rid of loneliness because your original DNA inherited from mammals tells you that loneliness means being out of a group, that you are no longer safe, that your life is threatened.
It's a fear that comes out of your bones.
However, loneliness can allow you to temporarily break away from the group, let you get rid of the friction and contradictions between the group, as well as the interference of the group on you, directly face your own heart, and have enough space to think.
When loneliness goes to the extreme, completely isolating you from people, you will feel that loneliness is not terrible. Just as in "One Hundred Years of Solitude", Rebecca, who has closed herself off for decades and described her witheredness, has gained a serenity that she has never had.
There is no one else in the outside world, only yourself.
Solitude is like a good night's sleep, a perfect ASMR.
It is enjoyment, it is a massage for the spirit, it is the supreme pleasure.
It is your prerogative. In solitude, you are your own king, your own ruler.
